Abnormal Moon

Once the power is gathered, allowing Aldi to unleash his full power, even with Aldi's body made of the world's hardest alloy, he can only hold out for a few minutes at most!

Limshi saw that Aldi was unable to defeat Roy for a long time. She knew that once he exceeded his limit, even if he successfully defeated Roy, Claudia could easily defeat Aldi and win the match. So she deliberately created anxiety, hoping that Claudia would go up and help Aldi finish them off in one go. However, she didn't expect that she would see through her plan so easily. This woman was even smarter than she thought.

"Besides, even if I don't go up to help, Roy won't lose."

Immediately afterwards, Claudia put a finger to her lips and gave Limsey a mysterious smile.

Whether he can be considered serious now is another matter!

"--What?"

Upon hearing this, Limshi's pupils suddenly contracted.

In the field.

"Click!"

Aldi was about to chase after Roy, who had dodged his attack again, when he suddenly stumbled and almost fell to his knees.

He looked down at his left foot and saw that most of the alloy in his left ankle had fallen off, leaving it only supported by the skeleton, and it looked like it was not far from breaking completely.

"It seems you'll be the first to reach your limit."

Roy stopped about ten meters away from him, glanced at his left ankle, and thankfully his sparring with Wu Xiaohui these past few days had greatly improved his dodging skills, otherwise he might not have been able to completely evade Aldi's fierce attacks.

"..."

Aldi fell silent.

Even without uttering a sound or showing any change in expression, Roy could sense the deep resentment in his silence. It wasn't a defeat due to a lack of strength, but rather a defeat because his body couldn't withstand it. Anyone would feel resentful after such a defeat.

"Haha, my legs aren't broken yet! Even if I can only fight for one minute, I will fight to the very end!"

Aldi laughed angrily, using his giant hammer to support himself as he stood up. Under the immense, tidal wave of energy, the alloy that served as the outer layer of his feet cracked little by little, and the skeleton on his feet was constantly flashing with electric sparks.

Not only his feet, but his entire body was bursting with blue energy, seeping out little by little from every seam of his body.

After this battle, Aldi will need extensive medical treatment and won't be fully recovered for at least a day or two. Even if he wins today's battle, he definitely won't be able to win tomorrow's final.

At this point, whether it was Aldi, Rimshi, or Enesta and Camilla on the sidelines, they had all seen through this and fell into an indescribable silence.

"We were so close!"

Camilla clenched her fist and slammed it against the railing in front of her with a look of resentment.

Aeneasa remained silent, simply observing everything before her with equanimity.

On the field, Roy looked at Aldi, who was still unwilling to admit defeat despite the inevitable defeat, and nodded slightly.

"Good fighting spirit!"

"Seeing your fighting spirit, I won't use delaying tactics anymore. Let's decide the outcome with pure strength!"

Roy raised the knife-shaped weapon in his hand, spread his legs apart, placed the blade beside his head, and pointed the tip directly at Aldi's chest.

Is this an act of pity for us?

"Are you an idiot? I was praising you!"

"...Hmph, hahahahaha! I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Roy!"

Aldi let out a hearty laugh of emotion, then dropped the cannon barrels from his arms, raised the giant hammer high with both hands, and his entire body surged with energy like the heat of the Earth's core.

"Take this, my final Vornius hammer!"

Aldi roared with all his might.

He swung the giant hammer in his hand like a meteor, the storm hurling everything around him away, and a dazzling light flashed blindingly.

At the same time, Roy's feet swayed and his figure flashed.

"One step beyond the note—"

"Two steps without interruption—"

Without a sound, Roy enveloped his entire body in star power, narrowly avoiding the giant hammer. His skin was torn apart by excruciating pain, but he remained unmoved, his eyes sharp as blades, the tips of which were pointed directly at Aldi.

"Three Steps of the Sword!"

The instant Aldi swung his giant hammer, he erected defensive barriers in front of him, completely protecting the school badge on his chest.

"—Nameless Triple Strike!"

The blade flashed and disappeared like a flash of light.

In the blink of an eye, Roy's figure had already passed Aldi and appeared behind him, the two only a few meters apart. The giant hammer smashed the defensive barrier behind him, and a storm swept across the entire area.

"Click!"

A crisp voice sounded.

Aldi lowered his head. A blade-wide hole was torn in the defensive barrier in front of him, and the school badge on his chest split in two with a crisp sound, slowly falling to the ground.

Once everything was quiet and the smoke and dust had cleared from the field, the commotion subsided.

"Humph!"

Aldi crossed his arms, striking a victorious pose, and let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha! Impressive! Far beyond what we could have predicted! In this battle, we are utterly convinced of our defeat!"

"competition is over!"

The announcer's screams echoed throughout the venue.

"After a fierce battle that far exceeded expectations, Roy & Claudia from Seidoukan have won the first semi-final match and are now the first to advance to the final! So cool!"

Chapter 238: Haven't you used your full strength yet?

"I am very sorry, Master, we have failed!"

After the match, Aldi, with his battered body, stepped off the stage and into the passageway, where he met Aeneas and Camilla, who were waiting for him.

"We should really be sent back to the furnace to be made a new one, as we have brought shame upon our master."

Aldi and Rimshi bowed their heads together, filled with remorse, and apologized to the two girls.

"It's okay, it's okay, we lost, we lost!"

Before Camilla could speak, Aeneas waved her hand dismissively.

"Anyway, I didn't expect to achieve my wish with just one Star Martial Arts Festival championship. There will be many more opportunities. Most importantly, it's better that you two are okay!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Master!"

"You all seem to be quite happy?"

Camilla put her hands on her hips and looked at the two machines with an inquisitive expression.

"Isn't Master angry?"

Limshi looked at Camilla with some trepidation; Camilla was the most useless one in this battle.

"Since we lost after giving it our all, I have nothing to say. We'll just keep trying next time."

Camilla shrugged, a rare smile appearing on her face.

If Aldi lost because he couldn't bear the immense burden brought by the All-Encompassing Crystal, Camilla would indeed be very unwilling, and would even scream in her sleep at night to vent her emotions. But Aldi was defeated head-on by Roy after giving his all, so Camilla had nothing to say.

This is their current limit, but not their future limit.

In this regard, she also had to thank Roy for his understanding, which was actually more than Camilla expected. He was willing to face Aldi head-on at that critical moment.

Relief was visibly relieved to receive Camilla's forgiveness.

"This battle has taught us a great deal; we never imagined we had so many weaknesses!"

Aldi couldn't help but sigh as he recalled the battle he had just fought.

“That guy named Roy really values ​​us more than anyone else, and he doesn’t discriminate against or fear us at all. Master wasn’t wrong; he’s looking at us as equals, as if we were living beings.”

"Hey, I didn't expect Aldi to have such a high opinion of me!"

Aeneas looked at Al with some surprise at first glance, but her face showed no surprise; she had felt that way from the beginning.

Roy is a strange guy, but she likes him a lot!

"Furthermore, I feel that Roy hasn't even used his full strength yet!"

At this moment, Aldi suddenly uttered something truly shocking.

"Wait a minute, are you serious?"

Camilla was startled by his words and looked over with a strange, horrified expression.

Although they have lost the match so far, Camilla cannot accept the conclusion that Roy defeated Aldi, who was going all out, without even using his full strength!

“Speaking of which, Claudia Enfield said the same thing.”

As if reminded by Aldi's words, Limshi repeated Claudia's earlier words.

"Hoohoo! If he really defeated my masterpiece, Ardy, without using his full strength, then I'm getting more and more concerned!"

Aeneas covered her lips with both hands and let out a strange laugh, then licked her dry lips lightly where the others couldn't see.
